Very nice Jon, looks amazing :notworthy:

As the weather seemed to be holding out and my hangover had resided I decided to fit my new battery tray:thumb:

The plan was to fit 4 rivnuts into the boot floor and screw in the nice stainless alloy head bolts - but the new rivnut tool I bought was sh!t and broke when I tried to fit the first one:mad:

By now the weather had changed and it was p!ssing down but I wasn't giving up so change of plan; I drilled my 4 holes and although the boot floor is quite thin I managed to tap all of the holes with enough of a thread for the bolts to nip up, but as a double measure I got under the car in the pissing rain:eek: and added some stainless flange bolts.

Anyway, here it is:D

Battery tray looks great, i know where to come when I need one :D

I also know what little improvements to make to prototype number 2 to make that little bit nicer too:D

Great work mate!

Liking that Jon,top work mate.
I haven't forgotten about you either,just had a rough week.
Pm is imminent :)

Good work on the battery Jon :thumb: put some pics up of the car want to see what your wing mirrors look like as I fancy a change :D

Should be getting a vf34 for mine too with similar mods to yours what power you think you'll achieve Jon?

Martin

I'll drag some off my HD when I get home tonight and stick them up - there's bound to be some around but it depends upon how much house-keeping I've done on my PB account:D

34 with pinks, FMIC, ported headers and a TSL 3" exhaust, TGV delete and a 'kin huge induction kit - I'll be happy with 330+, although I doubt it'll get dynoed as I want a good driveable car, figures are a nice guide but it's useability that's important to me:thumb:

Just me being lazy Jon but didt want to scrawl through pages of the Bugeye stand up thread :lol1:

Where can those mirrors be had from if you don't mind me asking mate?

Been searching like crazy on how the 34 spools but still unsure. Mine will be on a tmic with pinks, decat, tgv deletes with ported headers n up pipe :D

Will wait and see hopefully not too laggy for a road car

Martin :thumb:

Mine where cheap APR copies that I picked up just to get a feel for them - if I didn't like them they can go in the bin. I'm tempted to look at some better quality kit car ones as these have limited adjustment due to the ball joint cracking and I ended up fibreglssing over it:wonder:

With those mods the 34 should still spool quite well, apparently it's a good balance for the standard block and shouldn't over-stress the WRX internals although the gearbox may be on the edge, PPG here I come:D

jon, do you know of anyone who rebuilds impreza STI gearboxes?

I know API do a really good price on WRX ones, £600 exchange iirc, you could give them a try...

Will look the danglies Jon when done :D what kind of diffuser you looking at Jon? Wanted one like Juras but don't think I want to tap through the bumper :wonder:

How about the bonnet vent too mate :norty: :lol1:

Martin

Forgot about the bonnet vent, just waiting for a quote from Ryan for painting it:D

Rear splitter will be exactly like Jura's, I've asked Carben Creations to quote me for making one:norty:

Group buy? :D need to still get myself a vent don't know if I should get the HT autos vent. Have a new bonnet, now the dampers aswell :norty:

Martin

I'll suggest it:thumb:

I did fancy a HT Autos one but the Panfinker one I've got is a litte different:D

Add some new bonnet lifters today...

Next up, waiting on a quote for some painting, and then some powder coating to sort out too:D

Send over a pm Jon with what you want doing again mate,can't find the it in my inbox?!

Done:thumb:

Not sure how I've missed this thread, nice one Jon :)

Thoughts please peeps, I've got an alloy rad and FMIC, I was going to powder coat the pipework satin black to contrast with the red hoses I have, but I'm now thinking about leaving some bling under the bonnet.

I'm also after an clean and tidy alternator, ideally not polished but not full of salt corrosion like mine:(
